Dwarfed stature is a desired agronomic trait for pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), with its advantages such as lower cost and increased yield. A comprehensive understanding of regulatory mechanisms underlying the growth repression would provide a genetic

THE FORNAX DWARF GALAXY AS A REMNANT OF RECENT DWARF-DWARF MERGING IN THE LOCAL GROUP [PDF]
We present results from the first numerical analysis to support the hypothesis, first proposed in Coleman et al. (2004), that the Fornax dwarf galaxy was formed from the minor merging of two dwarfs about 2 Gyr ago. Using orbits for the Fornax dwarf that are consistent with the latest proper motion measurements, our dynamical evolution models show that ...

It is the intention of this review to explain what white dwarfs are and why it is interesting to study them, and why the H+2 molecule is of special interest. The evolution, from start to finish, of a star of mass less than about 2 solar masses (M⊙), can roughly be summarized as follows: – A cloud of gas contracts from the interstellar ...

RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY OF A BROWN DWARF BINARY AT THE T DWARF/Y DWARF TRANSITION [PDF]
We report resolved near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic observations of the T8.5 binary WISEP J045853.90+643452.6AB obtained with Keck/NIRC2, Keck/OSIRIS and the Keck Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system. These data confirm common proper and radial motion for the two components, and we see the first indications of orbital motion (mostly radial ...

N-terminal truncated RHT-1 proteins generated by translational reinitiation cause semi-dwarfing of wheat Green Revolution alleles [PDF]
The unprecedented wheat yield increases during the Green Revolution were achieved through the introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles. These Rht-1 alleles encode growth-repressing DELLA genes containing a stop codon

Hormonal Interactions Underlying Rootstock-Induced Vigor Control in Horticultural Crops
Grafting has been utilized to develop horticultural crops to increase plant vigor, yield potential, and tolerance to various environmental stresses. Grafting employs selected rootstocks of the same species or near relatives.

Dwarfed stature is a desired trait for modern orchard production systems. One effective strategy for dwarfing cultivation is exogenously applying plant growth retardants (PGRs) to plants.

Identification and expression characterization of apple β-tubulin gene family in apple [PDF]
[Objective] Microtubule is composed of α-and β-tubulin heterodimers. It is known that α- and β-tubulins are encoded with large family genes and selected expression of α-and β-tubulin family genes plays key roles in regulating various biological processes,
